Method IntroduceExtensionBlock

IntroduceExtensionBlock(INamedType, IType, string?, Action<IExtensionBlockBuilder>?)

Introduces a new extension block into a static class. Extension blocks allow adding extension members (methods, properties, indexers) to a type (represented as an IType). Requires C# 14+ and Roslyn 5.0+.

IIntroductionAdviceResult<IExtensionBlock> IntroduceExtensionBlock(INamedType targetStaticClass, IType receiverType, string? receiverParameterName = null, Action<IExtensionBlockBuilder>? buildExtensionBlock = null)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
INamedType	targetStaticClass	The static class into which the extension block must be introduced. Only static classes can contain extension blocks.
IType	receiverType	The type being extended. Members introduced into this extension block will appear as members of this type.
string	receiverParameterName	The name of the receiver parameter. Set to `null` or empty for a static extension (members appear as static members of the extended type). Set to a non-empty string (e.g., "self", "value") for an instance extension.
Action<IExtensionBlockBuilder>	buildExtensionBlock	An optional callback that allows you to configure the extension block, such as adding type parameters or attributes to the receiver parameter.

Returns

Type	Description
IIntroductionAdviceResult<IExtensionBlock>	An IIntroductionAdviceResult<T> representing the result of the advice. The Declaration property provides access to the introduced extension block. The result also implements IAdviser<T> and can be used to introduce members.
